Horror's Guilty Pleasures?
As a fan of horror I have certain movies that I love, the critics hate. Most of us who are life-long fans can find that little gem in the films casual horror watchers dismiss as junk. What are some of your horror movie guilty pleasures? Some of mine are, "Devil Dog: Hound From Hell", where Richard Crenna's family gets more than they bargained for when a cute little pup moves in. "The Hearse", with Trish VanDevere and ,"The Hand", starring Michael Caine. Any critic's least favorites on your must-see lists?

I don't get it how a lot of critics didn't like the Phantasm series.
One director I really dig that has suffered at the hands of critics is Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case trilogy, Brain Damage and Frankenhooker). Henenlotter and Coscarelli both make highly original offbeat movies that I guess you either work or don't work for you. I've really enjoyed the later John Carpenter films also..... which a lot of people hate with a venegeance they still have a certain spark to them and I always like his characters. People don't seem to get that Escape From L.A was meant to be bad. Strange Days was a movie I watched recently that got a lot of undeserved shit from critics..... I thought it was great. Fuck critics anyway they don't know shit a lot of the time.... I've stopped listening to them because they don't get the genre and shit on it out of ignorance.  "So many assholes..... so few bullets"

How the fuck can anybody like House of the Dead?
That was horrendous! Easily the worst mainstream, big budget horror movie I've ever seen. P.S. The critics were right for bashing Phantasm. That series sucks.
